d. Beveled Blade Position:
The beveled blade is located
directly behind the cultivator
section and is used to spread
and level the soil loosened by
the cultivator.
A good starting position
would be in the second hole
on the strap. This will place
the blade slightly above the
cultivator shovel depth posi-
tion. Lower if the blade is not
distributing or moving the
soil along the width of the
cut. Raise if a lot of soil is go-
ing over the top of the blade.
Set both ends of the blade in
the same hole.
e. Beveled Blade Angle:
The bevel blade mount-
ing frame is designed with
a slotted mounting hole to
provide a way to adjust the
blade angle. To set the angle,
loosen mounting bolt and tap
blade into the desired posi-
tion. Tighten mounting bolt
to its specifi ed torque. Set
both ends of the blade at the
same angle.
f.
Mulcher Roller:
The mulcher roller is de-
signed with an adjustable
mounting frame to allow the
operator to set the depth of
the roller during operation.
The best results are obtained
when the roller is set slightly
higher than the depth of the
cultivator shovels. It should
pack, condition and com-
press the soil as the machine
moves across the working
area.
Observe the quality of the job
when starting to work. Raise
the roller if the cultivator
is not able to penetrate the
surface and work up the soil.
Lower if the soil is not being
compressed.
